Not a big deal. In many cultures dog meat is considered a delicacy . That's all. It's fine with me . Also not every culture in the world has the same culinary appetite as the U.S.

On TV last night they were serving pigs ear sandwiches . I'm sure that wouldn't be cool in many cultures even some here in this country.

My point is, that not knowing anymore than from the article , this man may have been exercising his taste challenge.

Back in Dodge after the influx of Vietnamese, there were rumors around that neighborhood cats and dogs were going missing suggesting that the Vietnamese were harvesting them.

One evening a young student of mine was explaining this over dinner. Saying that in Vietnam food was hard to come by so any meat was welcome. He continued saying that when his people came here they continued to eat what they could. The same boy explained his diffulculty in getting across to America. Of the our bats that started the journey only three made it. One whole boatload drowned but his boat was lucky no one drowned.

Sometimes people are put in circumstances where they need to adapt to survive.

Not sure about this guy though.

I know , folks wil say that it's a cute little animal. Some folks keep other animals that they pet and hug and hand feed. Rabbits come to mind. Then they kill and eat them. Why not a dog.

You got a little too deep again, and of course CNN uses high schoolers for interns, so not the full story.

From what I've read it wasn't in this guy's culture, he just flipped out and killed the family dog. To those of us in Western culture eating domesticated animals is a bit on the far side, and we have animal cruelty laws, he strangled the puppy.

We all understand other cultures Dave, but that had nothing to do with it. This guy has mental issues.

When his mother’s new pet was missing and she found the dog’s head in the garbage and her son boiling the dogs ribs on the stove, she called police. When police arrived Huggins told them that the dog got aggressive so he killed it and cut it up for food. He acted as though he didn’t see anything wrong with this.

He was arrested on animal cruelty charges. His mother said she’s never known him to be violent. His sister said that he had been showing signs of mental illness and he has adopted extreme religious beliefs lately.
